Rover Lyrics - Heavy Horses - Jethro Tull

I chase your every footstep 

and I follow every whim. 

When you call the tune I'm ready 

to strike up the battle hymn. 

My lady of the meadows --- 

My comber of the beach --- 

You've thrown the stick for your dog's trick 

but it's floating out of reach. 

The long road is a rainbow and the pot of gold lies there. 

So slip the chain and I'm off again --- 

You'll find me everywhere. I'm a Rover.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

As the robin craves the summer 

to hide his smock of red, 

I need the pillow of your hair 

in which to hide my head. 

I'm simple in my sadness, 

resourceful in remorse. 

Then I'm down straining at the lead --- 

holding on a windward course. 

Photos 

Strip me from the bundle 

of balloons at every fair: 

colourful and carefree --- 

Designed to make you stare. 

But I'm lost and I'm losing 

the thread that holds me down. 

And I'm up hot and rising 

in the lights of every town.
